Romanian writer-director Radu Jude is back with another work of cinematic absurdity - this time, it's a Dracula film made in Transylvania. What does it contain? A vampire hunt. Zombies and Dracula crashing a strike. A science-fiction story about Vlad the Impaler coming back. An adaptation of the first Romanian vampires novella. A love story. A montage film reusing a classic vampire film. A vulgar folktale. A.I. generated kitsch stories. And many delights in a film dealing with this cinema myth.

"Dracula, emotion, sex, nudity, vampires, zombies, action, lots of blood, violence, AI images, car chases and good quality comedy! 15 strong stories plus jokes, jokes, jokes – like "you’ll laugh until you piss yourself."" (Films We Like)

"It’s fucking nuts." (RogerEbert.com)

"Director Radu Jude adopts the often-misunderstood “depiction is not endorsement” approach: his film argues that generative AI is quite literally a vampire, sucking the blood out of civilization as we know it." (Spectrum Culture)

"'Dracula' is a satirical epic that holds no punches and leaves no room for breathing, where people are heckled, and the viewer is provoked." (InSession Film)

""Dracula" is as much concerned with the cannibalization of Dracula and his becoming a messianic sexual figurehead as it is with the contorting of Romanian culture into a form of play or political leverage." (Next Best Picture)
